[Team Changes - Despite getting shellacked by the Cowboys in Townsville, the Eels retain 16 of the 17 man squad that got beaten, with only FuiFui MoiMoi likely to return at the expense of Pat O'Hanlon. Wow. ]

[Team Changes - Tim Grant returns from a calf injury at prop, moving Dayne Weston to the bench. Luke Lewis and Nathan Smith swap jerseys in the backrow, while David Simmons pulled through his comeback game and is on the wing. Etu Uaisele is named in both the NRL and NSW Cup, so expect Sandor Earl to actually play instead. Ryan Simpkins is on the bench as the backup hooker, while Cameron Ciraldo is named to return from a shoulder injury and Chris Armit is out. Mitch Achurch is the 19th man. ]

THURSDAY GAME PREVIEW

Listen to the Podcast for a full preview, but we like the Eels - they may have sucked deluxe so far this season but the Panthers haven't looked impressive either. This is a game that the Eels somehow win even when they aren't any good, and Penrith drop games just like this when they are expected to win.

TIPPING AND FANTASY LATE MAIL

SMH and Other Late Mail- Jarryd Hayne may be a very late inclusion, with a quicker than expected return from a knee injury. Cameron Ciraldo is out with a shoulder injury, while Tim Grant is reportedly a late withdrawal. The Hayne decision will come at approx 6:45pm.

[Team Changes - Still no Nathan Merritt, but Greg Inglis is listed in the #1, with Dylan Farrell on the wing and Shaune Corrigan at centre. Jason Clark has kept Nathan Peats as 18th man for the second straight week.]

[Team Changes- There are no changes for the Broncos, who beat the Knights 24-10 in Round 3. Corey Parker is at least a fortnight away after thumb surgery, possibly longer. ]

THURSDAY GAME PREVIEW

Listen to the Podcast for a full preview, but we like the Broncos after watching them put the Knights away first hand last Friday night. The Bunnies on the other hand may have racked up 40 points at Penrith but they still looked soft defensively and the Broncos aren't going to let them get out to an 18-0 lead early. Hopefully the weather is better this year and the Broncos will win unless Burgess and Inglis go nuts.

TIPPING AND FANTASY LATE MAIL

SMH and Other Late Mail- The Rabbitohs took Nathan Merritt to Perth but they say he won't play. Nathan Peats or Jason Clark will miss out. The Broncos took Dane Gagai to Perth but he is unlikely to play.

[Team Changes - The Warriors have swapped rookies Konrad Hurrell and Ben Henry at centre, with Hurrell still suffering from a head knock in Round 2. Lewis Brown starts in the second row for Feleti Mateo, while John Palavi is included on the 5 man bench.]

[Team Changes -Surprisingly no changes for the struggling Titans. Bodene Thompson stays at centre for the injured Jamal Idris, while Matt Srama gets the official #9 jersey back from Kayne Lawton. Brenton Lawrence is 18th man once again.]

THURSDAY GAME PREVIEW

Listen to the Podcast for a full preview, but we like the Warriors to give the Titans a bit of a touch up. The Gold Coast can't create points, that's a major concern when you're travelling to Auckland to take on the Warriors who can score points. Do the math.

TIPPING AND FANTASY LATE MAIL

SMH and Other Late Mail- Sam Rapira might be a late addition to the bench and Konrad Hurrell might get a week off after two hits to the head in two weeks. John Palavi could edge out Ukuma Ta'ai to make his first grade debut, while James Maloney is in some doubt with a sore head/ankle. The Titans lost Jordan Rankin to injury before they flew out, Greg Bird goes to five-eighth and Brenton Lawrence will play. Luke Douglas, Ashley Harrison and Steve Michaels should play but are carrying injuries.

[Team Changes - Brett Morris remains at fullback, with Kyle Stanley in the centres alongside Matt Cooper who returns from an ankle injury. Daniel Vidot holds onto his wing spot, with Dan Hunt also holding his starting spot at prop. Cameron King is the new hooker on the bench after Nathan Fien's ankle injury, and Jack De Belin is battling a shoulder injury. Josh Miller, Beau Scott and Leeson Ah Mau are named on an extended bench. ]

[Team Changes - Manly will lose Tony Williams for at least a month if not more to a dangerous tackle charge, Manly may yet fight the grading but he will be suspended. Jamie Buhrer gets the #12 jersey, while Daniel Harrison holds onto the #13 with Glenn Stewart unlikely to return from a finger injury just yet. Jason Annear, Nick Skinner and exciting backline prospect Jorge Taufua are on an extended bench. ]

THURSDAY GAME PREVIEW

Listen to the Podcast for a full preview, but we like the Sea Eagles... just. Normally we'll take the home team in games we find it hard to split these two teams, but Manly have a certain psyche that gets them up for games when they've been embarrassed the week before. The Dragons on the other hand had a good win in week one and then turned it up against the Bulldogs. Sea Eagles are the upset tip for me this weekend - even as defending premiers.

TIPPING AND FANTASY LATE MAIL

SMH and Other Late Mail- Jack de Belin might get a rest with a shoulder injury and Leeson Ah Mau or Josh Miller could get a run - so beware Fantasy owners, Beau Scott is unlikely. Dean Whare could make way for Jorge Taufua in the centres, while Nick Skinner is favoured to get a run on the bench ahead of Jason Annear.

[Team Changes - Ricky Thorby is the 18th man in the only addition to the 17 that tore Parramatta a new one last Saturday night. James Tamou's knee should be ok, while Cory Paterson remains in the QLD Cup.]
